There are some matters that although they are high priority for the City, they will receive less effort because they have wide support and have a high likelihood to succeed. There are efforts that will require greater effort and energy from staff and consultants due to the impact for future city activities and where Ann Arbor leadership may be essential to success. This includes strengthening EGLE, pedestrian safety, and housing affordability efforts among others. There are other priorities where we need put effort into our understanding of the positions of other key stakeholders before there is action. This includes split rate property taxes, rent control repeal, and some election measures among others. There is legislation introduced or ready for introduction that addresses other legislative priorities. Legislation has been prepared for polluter pays, plastic bag regulation, safer speed limits, and source of income discrimination in housing.
